Home Alone plot summary

It's a day before the McAllisters, a large family, go on holiday in Paris. Kevin, the 8-year-old, is despised by everyone else. His mum sends him up to the attic bedroom the night before. The next morning, they leave, forgetting to take him with them, and they don't realise until they are halfway across the Atlantic!

When Kevin discovers he has the large house to himself, he has the time of his life, but he is afraid of the neighbour, an old bearded man. Also, two burglars are determined to break in. Kevin pretends to have a party to scare them away one night, another time he lets firecrackers off in the kitchen. Finally, the burglars do get into the house, but Kevin has filled it with booby traps, which see the crooks being burned and banged on the head, among other things.

point of view (观点)

The overwhelming success of 'Home Alone' (it spawned two sequels), is enough to guarantee that most people will love this story of a family that departs for Paris on the Christmas holidays, mistakenly leaving an eight-year old boy to fend for himself. And fend he does, when burglars threaten to break in unless he can rig enough booby-traps to keep them out.

That's the simple plot in a nutshell. Macaulay Culkin seems to have no problem carrying most of the film with a wide variety of looks, gestures and expressions--but for my money it's Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci who get the main laughs as the bumbling burglars intent on outwitting the kid's traps.

Others in the cast don't have as much to do but do well enough by their roles, particularly Catherine O'Hara and John Heard as the parents who only discover on the plane that Kevin is missing. The laughs are steady, the color photography is great and the slight story is probably every boy's fantasy of what it might be like to be left home alone. Add to that the holiday flavor of Christmas and a pleasant musical score by John Williams and you have the makings of a classic.

The proof is in the pudding--they must have done something right!!

Answer 2

I love this movie: HBO's 'Clear History'
From the moment I saw HBO's 30-second teaser, I had a feeling I'd like Clear History.
As you may recall, our first peek at the movie really only included two things: Chicago's 1970 hit 25 or 6 to 4and a bearded, almost unrecognizable Larry David:

That was really all I needed to pique my interest, and, as it turns out, the movie is, indeed, something to sing about.
Clear History tells the story of a marketing executive (Larry David) who has the worst luck ever when he leaves a car company right before it could've made him a billionaire. David's character isn't a far cry from the one he plays on Curb Your Enthusiasm, in terms of his temperament and tendency to get the bad end of a deal:

The movie's stellar cast includes Jon Hamm, J.B. Smoove, Danny McBride, Kate Hudson, Amy Ryan and Bill Hader, though the standout is Michael Keaton, who has been off our radar for way too long.
I don't want to give too much away, but here's a scene from the beginning of the film, when David's character tells his boss (Hamm) that his new electric car model is terrible. (He also claims to be "the brains behind Edible Arrangements.")

Clear History is a perfect little movie that makes the wait for another season of Curb Your Enthusiasm all the more painful. Every actor is at the top of his/her game (even Hudson, who has had a string of terrible movie roles), and David offers a few poignant moments on top of the singalong Chicago soundtrack.
Clear History airs Saturday on HBO at 9 p.m. ET. I give it my highest recommendation.
